Wee Maxine

"Wee Maxine" is sort of a dinky cat, which just adds to her appeal. I've studied her a lot and, of course, she has completely won my heart. I cat-sat her in 2012 too, and handled it in the same way...sketching each day and finalizing the experience with an oil painting.

What a beautiful girl! Cats are really sweet when they are petite aren't they? And the sketches were great. I can see how being with her all week and drawing her would really help make the painting go smoothly.

Great cat! I love how you rendered her blackness. Cat sitting definitely has it's advantages. Yes, animals are great! All of them except maybe us. We've got some bad apples. --I like the boy in school uniform too. It has a thirties look to it.
